Floor chains
16mm, grade 80, heavy duty chains are drawn by high tensile sprockets, which are fitted to the front shaft as well as the driven rear shaft, ensuring perfect alignment and timing of the chains. Each chain has a 32 tonne breaking strain certificate. The same specification chain is used throughout the Mk4 range. |
Automatic light covers
When machines are fitted with a slurry door the LED lights are automatically covered when the door starts to open. |
Rubber cushion drive coupling
Especially developed to reduce shock loads to the auger drive gearbox, the rubber cushion arrangement located between the output shaft of the auger gearbox and the base of the auger contributes to the reliability and longevity of the machine. |
Floor shaft bushes
Bush highlighted in red. Floor shafts rotate through Polyester re-enforced composite bushes that contain a solid graphite filler. Chosen for their high load applications in a variety of environments, they are greasable, which further extends their life. |
One piece gearbox
The robust one piece SRT 8 gearbox is fitted to the Lowlander 60. The precision machined castings house heat treated components which are kept perfectly aligned. Internal gear-sets are unique to Bunning and ensure that auger speeds are optimised to achieve excellent spread patterns. |
Floor chain tensioning
A robust, simple and reliable floor tensioning system allows easy adjustment ensuring that chains are kept to their optimum setting. The chains are visible from outside the machine making it easy to judge when tensioning is required. 50 mm high tensile shafts are used. |
Full width floor slats
Full width floor slats clear the entire floor area, eliminating the possibility of bridging, a problem sometimes encountered with multi chain and slat floor systems. The “socket fit” design allows for easy maintenance which can be carried out in the field, it also allows the chain to pull straight should a slat become bent. |
Floor drive gearbox
The 350 series floor drive gearbox is hydraulically driven to ensure an even feed of material to the spreading mechanism at all times. With a reverse feature, any foreign object too large to pass through the beaters can be easily removed. An adjustable cross-line relief valve also delivers additional protection |
Twin dynamically balanced vertical augers
Twin 690mm diameter dynamically balanced vertical augers have flights laser cut from high tensile steel to improve strength and service life. Reversible Hardened Boronpoints manufactured using EN8 steel are bolted and supported along the back edge. |
